Oh my, so demanding. Well, my point is that this is just one more industry that deals with animals, and it's really not much different from the others.
Yes, this was my point. None of these things are affirmatively "good" from any ethically based point of view.

As for the others being (or not being) moral/ethical, well, that's for each person to decide for him/herself.

Well, many would say that it's for society to judge rather than a random individual's moral compass....that's why we have laws, civil actions, regulations, etc. Even the Supreme Court judges what is cruel and unusual by evolving standards of decency, reflected in trends emerging in the law. People are beginning to wake up to the cruelty inherent in many activities involving animals, and to say it's just up to each person to judge is overly simplistic and shallow.
